Update: no issues, these cars are tough. Got an alignment just to be safe. All good now.

Believe it is when jacking up the car, but maybe I'm wrong.

Thanks!

Hey Tesla community, Has anyone in the Bay Area (preferably SF) had to patch a tire on their Tesla? Would be nice to find a place that has some experience with the Model S, though would be interested to hear if you went to a chain place that was gentle enough to handle your baby :) Thanks.

I actually found this to be the case. I barely touched the accelerator and would have expected to notice hitting the block with my tire first but I didn't. It was just one motion and I was over the block effortlessly.

I've noticed a tad more steering wheel vibration in my P85D vs my P85+ at highway speeds over 70, and it's not related to lane warning.

Yikes. A very uncharacteristic move on my part. I was in a parking lot and apparently my space was the only one with a cement block. So, I drove forward (suspension in low), maybe 2-3 mph and BAM!, my right wheel goes over the cement block and some part the underneath section of my car hits the...

P85+ and then P85D replaced a Porsche 911 C2S.

How solid/tight did the car feel at high speed? Comparable to BMW, Mercedes etc?

Yep same here, but gone in 6.2. Can't really figure out why that would be the case.

Anyone notice this? Don't think it's placebo :)

Yes similar feeling for me, more like a knocking and getting bumped from behind sensation. Wasn't using TACC though. Feels like there's always something with this car...

First drive on P85D after .179 and I noticed shuddering at very low speed. Like foot on brake and crawling at 2-3mph. It felt as if the car behind me was bumping me ever so slightly, and It felt like it was coming from the rear motor. Anyone experience this?

Do you think range mode in sport vs insane is more efficient if you're not doing launches? My guess would be no. I also just completed .179 and will see what's up. I used range for the first time under .167 a few days ago (didn't even know about the power cut off issues) and it performed...

Used range mode for the first time on my P85D a few days ago and couldn't really tell.
